Symphony Nova Scotia would like to extend our deepest and sincerest thanks to Anne Murray, who has graciously given us her blessing to present this tribute to you. A true Canadian treasure and Nova Scotian icon, we’re thrilled to be able to honour Anne and her incredible music.
We would also like to thank Canadian composer Stephen Sexton, whose arrangements of Anne Murray's songs we feature in this concert. It is thanks to his and Anne's generosity that we're able to share this brilliant music, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to perform his orchestrations.
